NATO is just another cash proxy cow for our “allies” to milk.
There’s not a nation in Europe that can actually provide its own defense. There’s not a nation in Europe that can force project beyond its own borders in any real numbers or duration.
The entire EU together, with all it’s member nations pitching in everything they have *still* can’t put together a competent military force.
All that because they can parasite off us through NATO.
WE don’t need them. They provide no positive value and infact provide a serious negative in that they’ve all signed the additional protocols so force us into adhering to them whenever they join us in doing whatever or where ever.
Maybe you’re right, but I still think one can support a de-centralizing (perhaps even dismantling) of the E.U. —but still keep NATO for now. So long as member-states pay up.
